कर्णेन सैन्यस्थापनं तथा नानायुद्धसमवायः
Karna Reforms the Host and Multiple Duels Converge
येषां धर्मस्तान् प्रति नास्त्यधर्मो ह्यारट्टानां पजचनदान् धिगस्तु । कृतघ्नता, दूसरोंके धनका अपहरण, मदिरापान, गुरुपत्नीगमन, कटुवचनका प्रयोग, गोवध, रातके समय घरसे बाहर घूमना और दूसरोंके वस्त्रका उपभोग करना-ये सब जिनके धर्म हैं, उन आरट्टों और पंचनदवासियोंके लिये अधर्म नामकी कोई वस्तु है ही नहीं। उन्हें धिक्कार है!
yeṣāṃ dharmas tān prati nāsty adharmo hy āraṭṭānāṃ pañcanadān dhig astu | kṛtaghnatā paradhanāpaharaṇaṃ madirāpānaṃ gurupatnīgamanam kaṭuvacanaprayogaḥ govadhaḥ rātrau gṛhād bahiḥ paribhramaṇaṃ paravastrabhogaś ca—ete sarve yeṣāṃ dharmāḥ, teṣām āraṭṭānāṃ pañcanadāvāsināṃ cādharmo nāma vastu nāsty eva | tebhyo dhig astu ||
Karna said: “For those whose very ‘dharma’ consists of ingratitude, stealing others’ wealth, drinking liquor, violating the teacher’s wife, using harsh speech, killing cows, roaming outside at night, and wearing or enjoying others’ garments—such people have no such thing as ‘adharma’ at all, for they treat wrongdoing as their rule of life. Shame upon those Āraṭṭas and the inhabitants of Pañcanada.”
